Maintaining Your Certification Status
While Continuing Certification Requirements (CCRs) are certainly one part of maintaining your certification status, there are other "housekeeping duties" that you must maintain so you continue to receive certification communications and benefits. If for some reason you haven't been receiving regular communications from the Houston Program Office... you may want to check your "profile" to ensure the Program Office has your current information. The "Profile" feature located on the home page of website allows you to make changes to your existing profile. Changes such as:
- Company/Employer information
- Email address changes
- Home address changes
- Telephone number changes
To ensure you continue to receive notification of exclusive offers, news and events associated with the Compaq Accredited Professional Program, it's important you keep your profile up-to-date. Program information is communicated via the monthly TidBytes newsletter or posted to the home page of the website. It's to your advantage to take some time and check your profile to make sure all your information is up-to-date.
